Jennifer Axelrood - Preschool

I began at St. Peter in 2019 as a sub, then a classroom aide, and now a preschool teacher. I love teaching children and have worked in park district preschools, taught a parent and me class, religious education for 15+ years, and a library story time lady! I have a BA from the University of Chicago, Loyola; I studied in Rome, Italy, at the campus on Monte Mario, which was a highlight in my life.

I live in Lake Zurich with my family. Brian, who I’ve been married to for 25 years, my daughter Elizabeth who is currently getting her degree in early childhood education and dance, and my daughter Gabrielle who just started high school and loves the theater. My son Christopher just graduated college and took a job in Columbus Ohio and we love to visit him as often as we can.

St. Peter has been so welcoming since I started working here, and everyone is so kind and generous with their time. The students and families have been wonderful too. There is just a great feeling all around!
